This morning Alex had his first “meal” of real food. Although he is not quite yet 5 months, he is sleeping horribly and we thought maybe something heavy in the belly would help this a bit. After Mom pumped a bit, we mixed some powered oatmeal with the milk and gave him his first bites! He had a bit of confusion mechanically – (how do you open, suck, swallow all in the right sequence?!) – but he got it! He actually seemed to like it – that is, until the milk began to cool…that gave him some crazy faces! Fingers crossed that this leads to sleep!
